What seemed like an eternity was only a moment.
The reminders of this moment haunt me.
They plague my dreams, my mind, my thoughts;
I fear them but I press on

It was only a moment that felt like an eternity.
This moment defined my life, but not in the way you would think.
I could lay down and rest for an eternity but no.
This moment became my drive.
I press on in life with an inferno inside my heart.

The horrid eternal moment is the reason I choose to be who I am,
This moment taught me to choose,
This moment taught me that I am a person.
